HYDRooARBoN-BURNER.

Patented Dec. 3, 1907.

Application filed March 18| 1907. Serial No. 363,075.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that we, AnBA I; OARNINE and ROLAND L. GoBLn, citizens of the United States, residing at Anaheim, in the county of Orange and State of Oaliforni a, have invented a new and useful Hydrocarbon-Burner, of which the 1following is a speciiication.

This invention relates to hydro-carbon burners for stoves, furnaces and similar heating apparatus and has for its object to provide a hydro-carbon burner in which the generating chamber or retort is eiiectually housed and protected thereby to prevent the same from becoming clogged or otherwise obstructed by deposits of carbon and other products of combustion.

A further object oi the invention is to provide a burner in which the heating jets are arranged at an angle to the nre-box so as to direct the flames from said jets in opposite direction across the iire-box and in contact with the retort thereby to maintain the retort at the proper temperature to vaporize the oil and thus increase the heating capacity oi the burner.

A still further object of the invention is to generally improve this class'of devices so as to increase their utility, durability and eiliciency.

Further objects and advantages will appear in the Jfollowing description, it being understood that various changes in form, proportions and minor details of construction may be resorted to within the scope oi the appended claims. l

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification: Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view oi a hydro-carbon burner constructed in accordance with my invention showing the same in position in the fire-box of a stove. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the burner removed.

Similar numerals oi reference indicate corresponding parts in all of the iigures of the drawings.

The improved burner is principally del signed for use in the rire-boxes of stoves, furnaces and similar heating apparatus and by way of illustration is shown in position in the fire-box oi a stove oi the ordinary construction in which 5 designates the stove and 6 the nre-box.

The burner consists oi a tubular body portion or retort 7 having its upper end closed V and its lower end provided with an opening the walls of which are threaded at 8.

Extending vertically of the retort 7 and spaced from the interior walls of the latter is a vertically disposed tube 9 deiining an intermediate oil chamber 10.- The upper or free end oi the tube 9 is preferably spaced from the top 11 oi the retort thereby to permit the vapor generated from the oil in the chamber 10 to pass downwardly through the gas chamber 12 to the heating jets.

Threaded in the opening 8 in the retort is a pipe section or coupling 13 provided with` a plurality of radiating arms 14 to which are detachably secured in any suitable manner vapor conducting pipes 15. The vapor conducting pipes 15 are curved upwardly in spacedy relation to the vertical walls of the retort 7 and are provided with terminal jets 16 which are arranged at an angle to the base oi the re-boX so as to direct the flames from said jets in opposite directions across the `fire-box and in contact with the upper end of the retort thereby to uniformly distribute the heat within the fire-box and at the same time maintain the 'retort at the proper tem perature to volatilize the oil.

The exterior walls of the retort 7 are provided with laterally extending supporting lugs or brackets 17 which form a support for an oil oil-pan ,18, the latter being provided with a central opening thereby to permit the same to be inserted over the upper end of said retort and in engagement with the lugs.

Attention is called to the fact that the upper or free ends of the conducting pipes 15 are bent laterally into engagement with the peripheral edge of the oil-pan 18 thereby to lock said pan in position on the supporting lugs.

Oil is admitted to the chamber 10 through the medium of a supply pipe 19 which is provided with a valve 20 whereby the oil from the tank or other suitable source oi supply may be controlled at will.

In operation a small quantity of oil is introduced in the pan 18 either by pouring the oil directly into the pan or by opening the valve 20 and allowing a small quantity of oil in the chamber- 10 to flow through the pipes 15 and `jets 16 into said pan. The oil in the pan is then ignited which heats the upper end of the retort 7 and causes the oil in the chamber 10 to volatilize, the gas generated passing downwardly through the chamber 12 and thence upwardly through the conducting pipes 15 to the burning jets 16 where it is ignited by the llame from the burning oil in the pan 18. The flames from the jets 16 are directed in opposite directions across the firebox and in contact with the retort thus maintaining the latter at the proper temperature for supplying gas to the burners or jets 16.

Attention is called to the fact that the coupling 13 forms a support for the burner while the closed end or top 11 of the retort forms a closure for the gas chamber 12 thus preventing deposits of carbon and other products of combustion from clogging or otherwise obstructing said chamber and thus impeding the generation of gas.

From the foregoing description it is thought that the construction and operation of the device will be readily understood 'by those skilled in the art and further description thereof is deemed unnecessary.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed is:

1. A hydro-carbon burner including a retort having a centrally disposed tube constituting a gas chamber and defining an intermediate voil compartment, said tube being formed integral with the retort and having its upper end spaced from the adjacent end of the retort and its lower end provided with interior threads, a coupling engaging said threads, a valved pipe for supplying oil to the compartment, an oil pan surrounding the exterior walls of the retort and spaced from the upper end thereof, and a plurality of conducting pipes secured to the coupling and having their free ends bent laterally into engagement with the peripheral edge of the oil pan and provided with burner jets for deflecting theflame in contact with the retort above the oil pan.

2. A hydro-carbon burner including a retort having its upper end closed and its exterior walls provided with lateral supporting its interior walls threaded, said tube defining an intermediate oil compartment and having its upper end spaced from the closed end of the retort, an oil pan supported by the lugs,

a coupling engaging the threaded walls of the tube, andA conducting ipes united to the coupling and having their free ends deflected upwardly in engagement with the peripheral edge of the oil pan and provided with burner jets for directing the flame in contact with the retort above the oil pan.

3. A hydro-carbon burner including a retort provided with supporting lugs, an oil pan resting on said lugs, and conducting pipes communicating with the retort and having their free ends bent laterally in engagement with the peripheral edge of the oil pan and provided with burner jets for directing the flame in contact with the retort.

4. A hydro-carbon burner including a retort having a centrally disposed tube constituting a gas chamber and defining an intermediate oil compartment, the upper end of the tube being spaced from the adjacent end of the retort, lugs extending laterally from the exterior walls of the retort, an oil pan resting on said lugs, conducting pipes communieating with the gas chamber and having their free ends deflected upwardly in engagement with the peripheral edge of the oil pan andV provided with burner jets over-hanging the pan, and means for supplying oil to the compartment in the retort.

In testimony 'that we claim the foregoing as our own, we have hereto aflixed our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
